RE: IE-only sites

It's the e-commerce part of the site the one that uses an IE-only
application. I'm afraid you would have to be a registered user (i.e. a
reseller) in order to get in. I can't, however, guarantee that ALL
ingrammicro sites worldwide work the same. I only suppose they do. Please
email me privately if you want to check what I'm talking about at the
Spanish site. I'll give you my access passwords.
